I just spent 5 days at the Mandarin Oriental for two conferences and while everything was very good, Lynn from the concierge desk was excellent. I travel quite a bit for business but I never encountered a service quite like her’s. She is attentive, extremely...More

Dear 656tammyr,
We are located about equidistant to two Metro stations.
L'Enfant Plaza is three blocks east of the Hotel and a major stop on the system served by the Yellow, Green, Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines. This is the stop to use if you are coming or going to Ronald Reagan International Airport.
Smithsonian is three blocks north of the hotel served by the Red, Blue, Orange, and Silver lines.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC

Dear Avian33,
Many of our fans have already answered your question, but I still hope you will indulge one more. MO is located only about 15 minutes from Ronald Reagan International Airport. We are actually the closest hotel in the District of Columbia to DCA. Taxi cabs are abundant at DCA and fares will cost you less than USD 20. Uber and Lyft are also popular and easy options.
Metrorail is another quick and easy option and the L'Enfant Plaza station is four stops from the airport on the Greenbelt-bound Yellow line. However, it is a bit of a walk from the Metro to the hotel so I don't necessarily recommend it if you have a lot of luggage.
Alternately, you may contact our concierge and arrange for a private sedan transfer. The driver will meet you at baggage claim and personally escort you to the waiting car and assist with luggage.
Please feel free to call our concierge colleagues at (202) 554-8588.
Kind regards,
Dave Walsh
